Josh OâConnor is a standout in Golden Boy, a lacerating takedown of capitalist greed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thereâs no shortage of mid-20th century writers laying into the American Dream, but Clifford Odetsâs 1937 play effortlessly delivers the knockout punch. Itâs a bluntly brilliant satire of capitalism and the way it destroys people who mess with it â chewing them up like drunks whoâve become heedlessly entangled in an escalator. A shirtless, blood-smeared Josh OâConnor is a standout in the Almeida Theatreâs new revival, taking on the title role of an ambitious young boxing star whose
In Man to Man, Tilda Swinton mesmerises as a woman at war with gender norms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The curtain drops. The audience shuffles out, shellshocked from their experience at one of 2026âs most fiercely hyped shows. And as they do, Doris Dayâs âSentimental Journeyâ trickles out from the Royal Courtâs speakers. This nostalgic song feels like a quiet plea for indulgence from the trio who first staged this surreal German play nearly 40 years ago: director Stephen Unwin, designer Bunny Christie and, of course, Tilda Swinton, who's making a vanishingly rare return to live theatre
A Month in the Country prunes a Russian classic without losing its thorns – review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Watching Lyndsey Turner’s intimate take on Turgenev’s classic feels like spying on a secret affair in the woods. At first, the Donmar’s tiny stage is obscured by leaves, with just the odd half-glimpsed limb to suggest something is afoot here. Then, it opens out into a clearing filled with wildflowers and muddied grass – a patch of Russian countryside where lovers hurl themselves headlong into affairs like clumsy bumblebees, hoping their humiliations will go unnoticed. Of course, everything gets
Cate Blanchett brings star power to the cerebral Electra/Persona - review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two Australian theatre directors are currently haunting London's stages with sprawling, minimalist, avant garde takes on Greek familial murderfest The Oresteia. Simon Stone's fantastically enjoyable gorefest is soaking the Bridge Theatre in crimson blood as a moneyed clan rip each other to shreds. Benedict Andrews' starrier, harder-to-love National Theatre adaptation serves up mess and violence of a more psychological kind, splicing this ancient story with the cryptic Ingmar Bergman film Persona
EastEnders star brings life and silliness to Mike Leighâs kitsch-clad Abigailâs Party (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Delicious and nauseating at once, Mike Leighâs 1979 play Abigailâs Party preserves a whole decadeâs worth of lower-middle-class social signifiers and makes them shimmer like a tinned fruit cocktail in a glass. The twinkling fibre optic lamp, the swoony Demis Roussos records, the synthetic kaftans that would go up like Roman candles upon contact with a naked flame: proud hostess Beverly unapologetically loves her possessions, even though the audience canât help but cringe at them.
